Crandall Head might be more than a regular visitor to C-U in the near future. It sounds like the Rich South sophomore could be the Illini's next commitment.

A 6-4 wing, Head said at tonight's Orange-Blue Scrimmage that he is looking to make an announcement on where he will attend college at some point this week.

"Either Tuesday or Wednesday," he said.

Head said he is leaning heavily toward Illinois, where his brother Luther became a star and where he feels most comfortable. Crandall Head has made three visits to Illinois this fall and took an extensive tour of the campus two weeeks ago. He's expected to be a college freshman for the 2010-11 season.

"I feel comfortable (at Illinois)," Head said. "Being that my brother went here, it would be a nice decision for me."

If he chooses Illinois, and that appears likely, Head will join good friend Jereme Richmond in Illinois' 2010 recruiting class. He said he played alongside Richmond and fellow Illinois commitment D.J. Richardson over the summer.

Illinois has five verbal commitments in the bag: Stan Simpson (2008), Richardson ('09), Joseph Bertrand ('09), Brandon Paul ('09) and Richmond ('10).
